KVTA presents Pat Tomasulo, a Chicago-based stand-up comedian, TV host, actor and podcaster. One of the top headlining acts in Chicago, his very first one-hour comedy special, “What A Time To Be Alive,” has recently been released. You can also see and hear him weekly on “The Pat Tomasulo Podcast,” one of the highest-charting podcasts on Apple’s “Stand-Up Comedy” podcast rankings. And if you live in the Chicagoland area, you can see Pat every morning as one of the hosts of the WGN Morning News, the highest-rated AM news program in Chicago for over 10 years running. Other TV credits include guest host and contributor to “LIVE! With Regis and Kelly,” and co-host of “Shaq Vs,” an ABC primetime reality show featuring basketball superstar Shaquille O’Neal. Pat is also the creator and host of “Laugh Your Face Off,” an annual comedy benefit that has raised over $2.6M for The Facial Pain Research Foundation, a group that funds research to cure trigeminal neuralgia, a rare pain condition his wife, Amy, suffers from. He’ll bring his observational, absurdist humor to the stage, riffing through a variety of life observations, topical news and sports and the idiosyncrasies of being human, peppered throughout with witty commentary. Bring on the belly laughs!  This one is not for the kids! Audience discretion is advised.  Get your tickets for a night of comedy with Pat Tomasulo at https://www.kvta.org/

Studies show that more than 20% of adults in the United States feel lonely, isolated, or both. Research increasingly shows that social isolation and loneliness can profoundly affect the quality of life, especially for older people. Participants will explore the various consequences of isolation and loneliness and strategies for keeping in touch with others.

Disasters and other emergencies can disrupt your finances and your sense of normal. In this session, you will learn ways to organize and manage your finances, develop valuable resource lists, and ways to reduce anxiety and stress. With a focus on implications for older adults, we also will explore processes such as building your contact lists before an emergency and watching out for financial fraud following a disaster. Finally, we will review materials to help you build or rebuild your financial preparedness toolkit.

Nutrition is a tool to support cancer prevention, treatment, and care. This lesson will discuss research on how food can reduce cancer risk and ways to incorporate nutrition to help manage the side effects of treatment.
